Expressionism Art

Expressionism art is a type of art that displays the artists mood through colors and contrast of the painting. It started in the mid-20th century, and turned into more of an abstract art.

 These paintings to me symbolize pride honor, or courage. The lady to the left has a slight smile and is making direct eye contact. She has peace in her eyes that the blue brings out really well. The dog on the right has his head held high and has very peaceful colors going through it. It gives me the sense of releif.

The first picture with the five characters has dark colors, they have no eyes and some of them seem to be evil. This painting gives me a sense of fear and dispare. The painting in the middle gives me mixed emotions or almost has no emotion at all. The man isnt smiling or frowing and he is carrying two picture frames. He has dark eye circles and some crazy rug like hair. You would think with the crazy background he would be a little more happy, but he looks like he is annoyed with these picture frames. The last picture has a few famous paintings all in one. The first one is mona lisa smile the other one is starry night. This picture is all around happy, peaceful, and exciting.

Environmental Art

'The term "environmental art" often encompasses "ecological" concerns but is not specific to them. It acknowledges the early history of this movement (which was often more about art ideas than environmental ones) as well as art with more activist concerns and art which primarily celebrates an artist's connection with nature using natural materials.

The term "environmental art" is used in a variety of different contexts: it can be used to refer to art describing the natural world, art that celebrates personal engagement with the natural world ("art in nature"), and to the practices of ecological artists, whose work directly addresses environmental issues through educating people about the natural world, or intervening in and restoring the natural world. Ecological artist, Aviva Rahmani believes that "Ecological Art is an art practice, often in collaboration with scientists, city planners, architects and others, that results in direct intervention in environmental degradation. Often, the artist is the lead agent in that practice."

The media and activities used by environmental artists are incredibly diverse, including painting, photography, performance art, politically activist events, experiments with light and sound, sculpture, eco-feminism, creation of large earth-based installations ("earthworks", "land art"), architectural installations, and scientific inventions. Scientific information frequently inspires or is incorporated into such works.

This picture is taken in a large city. You can find things like this on the sides of buildings or walking down the sidewalks.

 You can also find these in the wilderness. Many people make this type of art for fun and some try to provide a message to people everywhere, or raise awareness.

Underwater Environmental Art

In 2006, Taylor founded and created the world’s first underwater sculpture park. Situated off the west coast of Grenada in the West Indies it is now listed as one of the Top 25 Wonders of the World by National Geographic and was instrumental in the creation of a National Marine Protected Area by the local Government. Following on in 2009 he co-founded MUSA (Museo Subacuático de Arte), a monumental museum with a collection of over 500 of his sculptural works, submerged off the coast of Cancun, Mexico; described by Forbes as one of the world’s most unique travel destinations. Both these ambitious, permanent public works have a practical, functional aspect, facilitating positive interactions between people and fragile underwater habitats while at the same relieving pressure on natural resources.
